Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.333 cup Granulated sugar
• 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 1 cup Fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 unit Egg (large)
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Orange juice (freshly squeezed)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cubed cold butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gently fold in the blueberries and orange zest, being careful not to crush the berries.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and egg until well combined.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and shape it into a disk approximately 1-inch thick and 7 inches in diameter.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife or a bench scraper, cut the disk into 8 equal wedges.

Step 9

Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

While the scones are baking, prepare the orange glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and freshly squeezed orange juice until smooth.

Step 12

Allow the scones to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer them to a wire rack.

Step 13

Drizzle the orange glaze over the slightly warm scones and allow it to set for a few minutes before serving.

Step 14

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy!
